1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Dice the fresh tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add Flavorings
Chop the fresh basil leaves and add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves and add them as well.
3
Season the Mixture
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the tomato mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

4
Prepare the Bread
Slice the baguette or Italian bread into 1/2 inch thick slices.
5
Heat the Grill or Skillet
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat.
6
Grill the Bread
Place the bread slices on the grill or skillet and toast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

7
Top the Bread
Remove the grilled bread from the heat and let it cool slightly. Spoon the tomato mixture generously on top of each slice.

Serve the bruschetta immediately while the bread is still warm. Enjoy!
